Happy to anounce that this series focused on the zodiac has a new AI here to deliver… Gemini, which has a fitting name for this series. As before I will be adding suggestions to based on what was written before.
The zodiac sign that follows Scorpio is Sagittarius (November 22 – December 21).
If Scorpio is the detective of the zodiac, Sagittarius is the explorer. Ruled by Jupiter (the planet of expansion and long-distance travel), they are the ultimate travelers of the zodiac. They crave freedom, wide-open spaces, physical challenges, and learning about the “meaning of life” through culture.
Here are the best places to visit in Romania for a Sagittarius, and why they fit this adventurous fire sign.
1. The Transfăgărășan Highway
Sagittarians hate feeling trapped or stagnant; they are the sign of the “road trip.”
- Why visit: This winding mountain road (often called “the best road in the world”) offers the ultimate sense of freedom. A Sagittarius will love the thrill of the drive, the sweeping panoramic views from Bâlea Lake at the top, and the feeling of being on top of the world.
- The Vibe: Expansive, epic, and liberating.
Dracula also suggests: Other important mountains roads with many places to discover: Trans Rarau Road, Transapuseana, Transalpina and one of my favorite drives on the windy, mild hills of Dobrogea to Enisala.
2. Piatra Craiului National Park
Represented by the Centaur (half-man, half-horse), this sign has endless physical energy and a deep connection to the outdoors. They don’t just want to see nature; they want to conquer it.
- Why visit: This mountain range offers some of the most challenging and dramatic hiking trails in Romania. The sharp limestone ridges and difficult ascents will satisfy the Sagittarius need for a physical challenge and an adrenaline rush.
- The Vibe: Rugged, active, and wild.
Dracula: This is the most impressive hike in Romania, if you want to do something less difficult, I suggest Via Transilvanica that takes the easy route around Piatra Craiului. (the route close to Brasov).
3. Sarmizegetusa Regia
Sagittarius is the “Philosopher” of the zodiac. They are constantly seeking truth, wisdom, and ancient knowledge. They aren’t just tourists; they are students of the world.
- Why visit: This ancient capital of the Dacians, hidden deep in the forests of the Orăștie Mountains, is steeped in mystery and history. A Sagittarius will be fascinated by the spiritual energy of the circular sanctuaries and the opportunity to ponder the origins of the Romanian people.
- The Vibe: Mystical, educational, and secluded.
Dracula: I would also add to the list Constanta and Histria as locations where greeks lived and left behind fragments of history.
4. Vama Veche
As the most non-conformist sign, Sagittarians value authenticity and often reject stiff rules or “tourist traps.” They love meeting people from different walks of life.
- Why visit: Known for its bohemian history, rock music, and “sleep on the beach” culture, Vama Veche appeals to the Sagittarius’ free spirit. They will love the lack of pretension, the late-night bonfires, and the ability to just be themselves without judgment.
- The Vibe: Bohemian, social, and rebellious.
Dracula: Vama Veche has become the commercial bohemian place for Romanians today, so you can try 2 Mai , or Anonimul Film Festival in Sulina, one of the most remote cities in Romania.
5. The Danube Delta (via Kayak)
Sagittarians are mutable fire signs, meaning they are adaptable and constantly moving. A passive boat ride might bore them, but an active expedition won’t.
- Why visit: Exploring the Delta by kayak allows them to forge their own path through the narrow canals. The sheer biodiversity (birds, wild horses) feeds their insatiable curiosity about the world. Seeing the wild horses in the Letea Forest is a specific highlight that resonates with their animal-loving nature.
- The Vibe: Untamed, biodiverse, and adventurous.
